While we’ve all grown accustomed to the ‘new normal,’ the global Covid-19 pandemic has reached its ninth month – with numbers surging across the globe on a daily basis.
Face-masks and social distancing have become the new additions to both our lives and our vocabulary, and nobody is exempt from it!
Even five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo, found himself being reprimanded for not wearing a face-mask.
The Juventus superstar, who was ruled out of Portugal’s 4-1 win over Croatia after suffering a painful toe infection that looked like it had been caused a bee sting, was spotted in a video without a face mask. The video showed Ronaldo sitting in the stands of the game, maintaining social distance, but without a mask.
One plucky woman, who appears to be a member of staff, however, walked up to him to remind him to put the mask on.
After the woman talks to him, Ronaldo can be seen instantly obliging and putting a surgical mask on.
Many people on Twitter agree – Ronaldo cannot be the exception to the rule, as it would set a bad example that being famous suddenly makes you exempt from everything. The invisible virus doesn’t differentiate.
Pure class, puts on the mask and doesn’t complain or cry like they do in Murica.

Politely requesting, politely obliging.

When people watch this and see that a person like Ronaldo doesn’t complain about putting on a mask they will stop complaining and start using masks

The Nations League holders go up against Sweden next, with Ronaldo remaining a doubt to be fit in time for that game in that timeframe.
